Tottenham News and Form

Tottenham will realise how lucky they were to come away from a game at Manchester City last weekend with a point. They were heavily outplayed in the fixture and barely got out of their own half. But a couple of opportunistic goals and the help of VAR saw the Lilywhites avoid defeat. That point against the reigning champions added to the three that they picked up on the opening weekend of the season against the newly promoted Aston Villa.

Spurs had conceded the opening goal in that game as they did against Manchester City. Looking back at last season, Tottenham did not have the greatest time at home against teams who finished in the top 10. Spurs won just two of their nine matches there. But it was a very different picture for them in their home games against all teams who finished in the bottom half of the table.

Spurs made it 10 wins out of 10 in such fixtures, taking a clean sheet in seven of those 10 victories. Harry Kane, despite being completely anonymous against Manchester City, is their top goalscorer this season, thanks to his two goals against Aston Villa. Kane is at 12/5 in the first goalscorer market* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on August 20th, 2019 at 8:15 a.m.).

Tottenham v Newcastle Head to Head

Tottenham have won their last two home games against Newcastle 1-0

Newcastle News and Form

There appears to be some uncertain times ahead for Newcastle. They have lost their opening two games of the season and in those defeats have looked really disjointed. They don’t yet seem to have a set game plan under new manager Steve Bruce. Newcastle opened with a 0-1 home defeat against Arsenal. Things got worse for them as they suffered a 3-1 away loss then at the newly promoted Norwich.

Can the Magpies stop the rot this weekend? This honestly looks like the kind of game that Newcastle don’t need right now. It is going to be so hard for them to get anything out of an away fixture against one of the stronger teams in the division. Throughout last season Newcastle only managed four away wins in total (D8 L7).

Newcastle lost all of their away games last season against the top six finishers, conceding at least two goals in five of those six defeats. They also managed just one away win last term against teams who finished 14th or higher. The Magpies averaged under a goal per game away from home last season with just 37% of the road fixtures going under 2.5 goals. Club record signing Joelinton as of yet, doesn’t appear to be of the quality to end their goal scoring issues.

Who will win – Tottenham v Newcastle Predictions

Spurs have been made to work for all of their points this season. This is likely to be their easiest fixture of the campaign so far. Newcastle don’t appear to really have a game plan together just yet, nor the quality to pull one off. Home win to nil.
